In describing his experience", declared that the unknown Bklppcr of tho tug crabbed an nx and chopped the big hawnora that kept them In tow w1ien he saw that his vessel was going down. "It was the onty chance we had," said Carlson. "He "knew his chances were one In a thousand, and he saved us by break ing" the hawser. We could see the tug getting lower and lowtrw-srith each suc ceeding wave. They simply smothered her, tons and tons or water smashing down on her decks before that awful gale, the worst I have ever, seen in more than twenty-five years onathe sea. "Finally there came an explosion. Her boilers must have blown up, for. above the surf steam shot up. Then she was gone with all on board. It whs hard to see them all drown right before our eyes, knowing nc could do nothing to save them. But maybe they weren't drowned, for the explosion may have' ended It quickly for them. Wc saw nothing after that. She just went down and stayed." The plledrlvtr about S o'clock Ho.nlght was smashed clear of the' shoal and driven Insldo tho Inlet by the gale.

The tug's yawl with a hole in its bottom was cast upon the beach at the same spot at about the same time.

The present war Is to be won from the air and jieare for all time made Im perative and sealed with the seal ofx podlency. In the. opinion of Cavallero Mario Cavlanchl, nn Italian aviator and Inventor, who arrived .at nn Atlantic, "port .yesterday aboard an Italian llnec "Few " persons realize that tho war plane of to-day Is capable of making 320 kilometers, nearly 200" miles nn hour," the Inventor said. "If the plane is improved in the next few years as It has been In the last, there will 'be no front line trench. At least the war will not ,be fought out there. War will be carried behind the lines thousands of miles behind to the cities and homes, and when that happens war will end." The Inventor Is so confident of his own machine, which he Intends to man ufacture n this country, that ho plans a transatlantic flight In the spring. He will statt In Newfoundland and land In Portugal, he says, not by way of picking a difficult toute, but because close study has convinced him that the Ncwfoundand-Portugal route will prove the easiest. oIdlerv Back With 14 Wonnds.

War conditions have constantly called for decisive action on their part to overcome market irregularities and to stabilize prices. At such a time as this, there is but one standard of merchandising that will meet the test. That standard is: that, all goods be sold at most reasonable profits upon costs. This has always been our policy in war times as in peace. We carry only fine foods, and always at the lowest possible prices for such quality and service as we give. In spite of the war's abnormal effect upon the food supply, we have successfully kept reasonable quantities of all the scarce commodities flowing to our regular patrons. This is a record we are justly proud of; and we are also proud that despite the war's abnormal pressure uppn our delivery system, we have not only maintained our regular service, but have actually improved it to a re markable degree.
